In fact, scanning machines were rarely used to scan the VIPs’ or politically-connected individuals’ luggage and carry-on bags to the extent that massive amounts of cash can be easily brought in to Malaysia.

It was also believed that a whopping RM42 million was brought in by an agency related to the Prime Minister’s Department in April for political usage in the 14th general election.

The former head of Immigration operations at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Datuk Shahul Hamid Abdul Rahim confirmed the existence of such activities and added that it has become a common practice here.

“This activity has been known by various law-enforcement agencies but (they) failed to eradicate it. When the VIPs’ planes land at the airport, they would bring out their luggage and no strict checking would be conducted. This happens all the time.

“This is also the reason why our country is flooded with foreign currency such as US Dollars.”

He also noted that security checks at the entrance of the airport should be strengthened as it’s our biggest weakness now.

It is known that any civilian bringing in more than RM41,000 will have to declare it at the Customs Department and subsequently get a permission from Bank Negara. However, top leaders and VIPs can skip these steps entirely.

Whoa! If they can easily leave that airport without having their luggage scanned, what’s stopping them from bringing in items other than cash, right?

Very sad, very disappointed, very angry, very mad, but not surprised at all knowing Malaysia Boleh !BN boleh!

Of course it is extremely sad, but then think again. I can never understand why we bow down to VIPS? We (authorities , agencies and their employees are the ones at fault) because we ASS U ME that VIPS can do no wrong? Hence we make an ASS out of U and ME. What are laws for? Why have laws if they are not or cannot be enforced regardless who we are?

Those who r entrusted by the rakyat to run the country but allow such things to happen is betrayal of the highest order. However untouchable they believe they r, karma will seek them out n befall on them punishments of the most severe n painful nature…
